Almost two years after their first mobilizations, the Yellow Vests marched through Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Nice, Bordeaux, and Strasbourg.
In Paris, security forces used tear gas to stop the demonstration. At least 200 protesters have been arrested so far, mainly in the area of the Champs-Elysées.
According to Paris' Public Prosecutor's Office, 54 people are still under arrest. Police have seized knives, masks, and a bow during their confrontation with the protesters.
Left-wing opposition leader Jean-Luc Melenchon congratulated the yellow vests for the mobilization.
"Bravo for the insubordinate present in the demonstration of the yellow vests," Melenchon tweeted as he appealed for calm.
The 'yellow vests' movement emerged at the end of 2018 against the Macron's plans to increase fuel prices. Subsequently, they evolved into a broader movement of rejection of the president's policies.
